Okay my girlfriend's atrix reboots almost ten times an hour.....during a phone call it reboots sending/receiving texts or just sitting there probably getting background data. I had her get a new battery cause she had some **** off brand in it....didn't work...now she told me she washed her last atrix and got it replaced so im thinking she got her sim wet and that's why its rebooting or its hardware end....phone is completely stock not rooted...any ideas? Thanks in advance

Unlock it root it and a custom rom fixed mine it did the same thing not as much as hers but still had a lot of random reboots on stock gb .now maybe one random reboot a month

I wouldn't be so fast to unlock the bootloader. A phone that reboots that often most likely has hardware issues. Stock ROMs have issues, but not that radical.
Feed her a nice dinner and get her to come clean as to the evil thing she did to her phone. If there really have been no mishaps, get a warranty replacement. My advice is to not do anything to the phone that would make getting a replacement difficult.
Good Luck
Lol she told me what happened with her first one she gott replaced she washed it....so she got a new one that one rebooted...then she got another and its also rebooting

I would tell u to download a gingerbread fruit cake, moto-fastboot, and do a complete wipe including system, data, webtop, preinstall, cache and boot. (Boot=kernel) then do a fastboot reboot into recovery and flash the 2.3.4 fruit cake. If u need detailed instructions on how to do this and where to get files pm me.

Ten times a day is a frigging lot. I used to have random reboots with group but it was more like twice a day. Sometimes it would not boot up again until I did a battery pull......but flagging to Gingerbread solved all these errors. No random reboots or any problem at all since.

I thought "flagging" to be British slang.
The conclusion I would make from reading this thread is that while many if not the majority of frequent and seemingly random reboots are failed h/w, another failure mode is corruption of the installed kernel and/or support utilities (collectively called the OS). Re-flashing any of the various ROMs will clear the problem.
If f/w corruption is the actual problem,flashing anything requires unlocking the bootloader. If a replacement phone is an option, I would do that rather than risk unlocking the boot loader and then not being able to return it.
I have a case on my Nexus 7 that uses the four sensors on the side to turn the screen on and off. I was using the tablet just fine, then I close the case like normal, and upon opening it, it would not turn on. The only way to get a response from the device is by plugging it in and the screen just lights up black. Any type of power reset using the button combinations result in the screen shown in the video at the end of the post.

Solution: I removed the back cover and disconnected and reconnected the battery.

Not that I can recall. The tablet is purely my Portable Netflix/Evernote slave. I've left it on the wall charger for 24 hours, and on a usb port charger for 24 hours, to see if that helps but that won't do anything.

Check the stickies in the dev section, they will show you how to root/unroot and flash back to stock. You can likely just use the updated nexus 7 toolkit.

Good deal!
There have been a couple threads where folks reported similarly-behaving screens. "sparkles", "static", "like an old tv screen", et cetera. I think at least several of them were similarly traced to battery charge issues or loose terminals on the battery connector.
Maybe add "[SOLVED]" to your thread title and it will help future visitors with the same issue.

So I bricked my one to the point that it cannot mount, adb, side load and is stuck at the boot screen. Talked to Bell, and they said that they would give me a new one when they have more in stock by Friday. After using the one for a week, its getting really hard for me to use another device. Missing the feel, of it in the hands, the sexy build, amazing speaker sound, the gorgeous display, Zoe and blink feed. It feels weird using my nexus 4 now.

Not trying to be a ****, but you getting a new phone because you bricked yours is stealing. The warranty does not cover you flashing unsupported software, so by getting a replacement for a non-defective device, you're stealing from HTC.
Just so you know.

Not stealing from HTC, but from Bell. And bell can suck a big one.
Well, they don't know the state of the phone yet, so they can say no on Friday. I haven't stolen it yet.

Fastboot flash the boot.img of whatever rom you're flashing. Odds are, you didn't brick it. Wipe everything first. Flash the rom. Flash the boot.img via Fastboot.

For the record this Device tends to have a lengthy boot up time on HTC screen ....especially on backups and fresh Rom installs ...a lot of people have been getting this mistaken for bricking ... When it's not it's just time ...I'd almost laugh if he isnt letting it sit long enuff to boot up.

K. I have managed to sideload 3 different roms, fast boot, a db push etc. Still doesn't get past the HTC screen. Mounted my USB through otg and did a nandroid restore of Bell's nandroid backup posted by some one. Bell has not released the ruu yet, other carrier's ruu doesn't work. o yeah, flashed stock ROM too. Left the phone on the HTC boot screen for hours, and it doesn't go past boot screen.
Any other suggestions?
BTW, I own 3 other nexus devices that are all rooted, and have been soft bricked numerous times and were easily brought back to stock. My first HTC device with no carrier ruu.

Right...well, mine is gone since 04/13...and I still didn't receive my new phone.
The phone company will decide whether they want to replace it and I've never had any problems with warranty replacements due to custom software. The phone isn't broke and HTC will simply use the parts or re flash it.
All the hysteria over rooting and custom roms breaking warranty is complete nonsesnse
If you burn out your processor over clicking it that's different of course but he hasn't.
Sheesh give the guy a break.
A phone that soft bricks or boot loops as easily as the one should never of been rootable in the first place.

You could try to charge it whole night, and then access the recovery /download mode, or maybe open it and unplug battery terminal and plug it back after few minutes....
If that won't help, I think RMA is the only solution (they should not be able to check it if it wont give anything but black screen)

I don't think RMA covers user mistakes Its hard bricked if you flashed the wrong ROM. You have to send it away for J-Tag. Likely your only solution.

I had the same issue. Windows Explorer on my Win 7 computer was not downloading the image properly from Google, and when I tried to install the factory image I got the red led and it was stuck on the "X" screen. After trying several times to get it into download mode, I discovered that I could eventually catch it if I hit the volume down and power buttons at a certain exact time during bootup, at which time I reloaded a non-corrupted factory image and I was up and running.

Mine works fine without the wipe.
I was just sharing my experience as I just got the phone the day before. I had the phone all set up it was working fine on Android 6.0.1. I upgraded to the beta for nougat Android 7.0 and immediately my phone kept rebooting every 30 seconds or little bit longer. Once I realized the data I have not had any issues at all.

I downloaded the app this afternoon, did the registration, went into my setting and checked for an update and it downloaded nougat. The one thing I have found is that Bluetooth sucks! Seriously my music breaks up with it just in my pocket and I'm wearing Bluetooth headphones. Then I took it out of my pocket and put it on the counter and I can't get 5 feet away from the phone and the music breaks up again. Prior to the update I could go to the gym, put my phone down and be a good 40 feet away and it would still work fine.

Thanks to this thread I installed the beta Nougat OS.
Nothing bad so far. I did NOT wipe or remove data.
So far, I really like it. The SoTP meter says it's faster. Only thing that doesn't work so far is my Agenda Widget. Love the improved AOD. Battery seems to last a little longer, but not enough experience to say definitively. I did notice that the phone was warm when at 100% this morning. Haven't seen that since the update that stopped us charging to 100% (even though the display said it was).
The options in Settings are better- much better control of notifications.
I'll post more as I discover it.

Sprint users were part of the beta too, so it shouldn't be like rollouts in the past. Although I don't understand why we've been testing 7.0 and the final is supposed to be 7.1.1, unless Sprint stays on 7.0.

If sammy sends them 7.1.1 them that's what we will get. 7.1.1 isn't that much different from 7.0 just a few features added like app menu short cuts which wouldnt take much for them to add in the final release .I really dnt get how beta is over with all bugs not fixed. I personality still have an issue with Youtube videos not working after some time. Notification tones stop working after some time. No factory reset or caches clear has fixed this in the whole beta process.
